An Important Message from our Fearless Leader

This issue marks the end of an era for The BEAST. Our next issue will be out in January and it will be different—better. We just think that it’s time for a change. We’ve become complacent and we’re tired of it. So we have forced ourselves to take a shower and put on the coffee and face the day with a new resolve. We’ll think about getting dressed later. Nevertheless, we’re up before noon for a change and we’re pissed. Maybe it’s Christmas. Maybe it’s this fucking disaster of a war. Maybe it’s our oblivious friends and relatives. Whatever it is, in this target-rich environment our shotgun style needs refining. We need to take a more surgical approach. So we’re cleaning our sniper rifles and donning our ghillie suits. We’re determined to get our body count up.

Unfortunately, the new BEAST format is not set in stone yet, but we are leaning toward a monthly magazine format. The first new issue is slated to hit the ground running with our annual 50 Most Loathsome Americans list. We’ll do what we can to get the word out about where you can get your new BEAST fix. So keep your eyes and ears open and check the website if you can. Another good place to find out about the new BEAST is to come to our party at Mohawk Place on Saturday, December 30th. It should be a good time too.

We’re going to start charging for the new BEAST, so hopefully you’ll be willing to plunk down a buck or two of your hard-earned money for it. A great idea would be to buy a subscription now for $26 per year. That would help us and you‘ll be sure to have your BEAST delivered directly to you. If nothing else, send us an email and we‘ll make sure your BEAST finds you. We want to keep our fans with us while we seek new readers in other markets. We think what we do has value or we wouldn’t do it. We hope you value it as much as we do and will try to stick with us through what may be a difficult transition. If you really love us, promote us to your friends beyond WNY. In return, we’ll continue to try to make The BEAST the best goddamned magazine in the universe. And that’s no bullshit.
